”The Main Matchup”

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<






-=-=-=-=-> Lamar Odom Vs. LaMarcus Aldridge <-=-=-=-=-


In Brandon Roy’s absence this matchup is the most entertaining. Lamar has been doing great lately, and why not to continue this great streak ? What about LaMarcus, he’s a nice player to watch, with a nice post game, good rebounding…

Keys to beat the Trail Blazers :

• They’re without Brandon Roy….a must win game
• Defense…executing
• Spread their defense
• The same, pick&rolls and ball movement. Just continue doing the same thing, executing and keep the momentum.

Roy could miss L.A. trip

Monday, February 25, 2008


The free-falling Trail Blazers could be in for another dose of bad news today when All-Star guard Brandon Roy sits down for an off-day meeting with team doctors to decide his playing status this week.

Roy, who was lifted in the third quarter of Sunday's game because of an ailing right ankle and did not return, was scheduled to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging Sunday night to discover the extent of the injury that has plagued him since before the All-Star break.

Farmar key part of the Lakers future
KEVIN DING

Lamar Odom set an NBA record for the longest streak of postgame singing in the shower with his performance late Sunday night in Seattle. Jordan Farmar was fully capable as Odom's backup singer. These Lakers are indeed a glee club now.

And even though they have everything to play for in these coming months, there's more: They're going to have everything to play for in these comingyears.

Lakers coach Jackson not penalized for criticism of referee

EL SEGUNDO - Coach Phil Jackson drew neither a fine nor a reprimand from the NBA on Monday for his critical comments about referee Brian Forte after Sunday night's victory over the Seattle SuperSonics.

Forte ejected Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant in the third quarter after Bryant became upset about a non-call at the other end of the court.

Go Lakers !!!

Discuss…

[Kirk Moon]

Luke is a superman, how else can you explain him being able to start and be on the bench at the same time ?

[smdyp]

I think that Roy will play

[EiRON]

Lakers another blow-out win

[dockingsched]

blazers lineup is going to be blake/webster/outlaw/aldridge/przy

Just wanted make it even for bench players !
Let it lie !

Go Lakers !

[hermes]

GO LAKERS

[Spanish_Laker]

Blowout city.

[TommyTheCat]

go lakers!!

[Lost Angel]

nice game thread

[bobobolas1]

At home....it has to be a win. blazzers down by 15 at the first of the 4th

[Spanish_Laker]

A 100% healthy Lakers should blow a 100% healthy Blazers out. They are only good kids.

[8'sReverse]

Without Roy... they shouldn't have a chance. After their crazy start to the seasons, the team now is what every thought the Blazers would be... which is, a decent team w/o their prized Oden.

Should be a blowout.

GO LAKERS!!!

A 100% healthy Lakers should blow a 100% healthy Blazers out. They are only good kids.

To bad the Lakers aren't 100% healthy

[Griever24]

Neither the Blazers but Lakers should still win this one ... Gotta watch out though Blazers come out strong vs bgood teams and whoever guards Aldrige is gonna have a tough cover so he better stay on him both in the inside and the perimeter ....

And if thats they're starting lineup btw ... Kobe will have a big night ... No way jack can guard him nor Blake

[TylersLakers]

Don't underestimate Steve Blake's defense.

Stay focused, get another W.

[breaker91]

Good luck tonight. I expect the Lakers to win, but over the past several years it seems Blazer-Laker games have been pretty close. I expect the Blazers to start Webster at SG and Outlaw at SF.

Outlaw has been a pretty tough cover even though most of his time has been at the 4, but lately he has been playing more at the 3. He had a really good game on Sunday against the Celtics at SF with Pierce and Posey guarding him. He is the one the Lakers D should focus on to start the game.

[tracey_nice]

Luke shouldn't be starting, he really doesn't bring much to the table imo.

[tagsu]

puke the fluke walton :\ im rooting for you pal. since kwame left town you've become public enemy #1. i think with the extra playing time he will settle into a productive groove. you still gota love his fade away jump shots that barely touch the rim. luke you're a lion go strong bud

this post is approved by me

p.s. kobe = 2pac of basketball,,, nuf said

[Mutatis]

going to the game.. was looking forward to seeing an allstar on the opposition.. but damn, i guess ill go to check out lamarcus.. GOOO LAKERRSSSS

[Mutatis]

oh btw.. "The Machine" should be a KEY bench player.. lately, my buddy and i call him god. LOL
